    I view the rep system as a pat on the back, and frankly I appreciate it.

    I think lowering the post count is a good idea. I know I held off on giving rep until I had reached that minimum post level just so I wouldn't be giving empty rep.

    The mushrooming rep power is a real issue. Would it be possible to do a sliding scale for the rep power based on your rep score? Something like the number of boxes in the rep bar? (i.e. a logarithmic scale)

    If I remember correctly, you also get one point of rep power for each thousand posts. I like that idea. It tends to favor the chatty people, but they are the ones that give this forum life and I think that it is as important to recognize that contribution as it is to recognize the people that have gotten rep for wonderful maps.

    I don't like the idea of negative rep. This forum is about encouragement and constructive criticism. Negative rep is not constructive.
